The price of cotton continues to go up and the general public continues to buy goods manufactured in the cotton mills, but .the cotton mills are unable to sell their goods. the proposition that is worrying the cotton mill men today, and that the situation in Gaston County is very similar to the one here is Indi cated by the statement from The Gas tonia Gazette that "what worries every body connected with the cotton mill bus iness is why the price of yarns aud oth er manufactured products does not fol low cotton in its upward swing.” Several cotton mills in Cabarrus Coun ty are working on a curtailed schedule now. and others are expected to follow suit in the near future. Manufacturers are having a hard time selling their goods at any price aud it is practically impossible to sell them at a fair profit now. And here is another peculiar thing about the situation: Manufacturers are willing to sell goods manufactured this year oh 28 cent cotton at prices cheaper than those offered last year when 23 and 24 eent cotton was used, but they can't find buyers. Practically every mill in this section is running at a loss, most of them operating to give their employes work as long as possible. They are do ing no business and would profit more at a standstill. This is the opinion of tlte American Wool and Cotton Reporter concerning conditions in the Northern Mills. It goes on to say that it may be that some of the cotton mills which closed down recently have put a few of their machines into op eration again, but it would be a mistake to iuterpret numerous reports to this effect as indicating that these concerns are about to start up again in a large way. or that substantial curtailment will not be continued iu many mills for some time to come. The Gazette declares “cotton manufac turers geuerally find themselves in a very difficult position today, because of high costs aud cotton uncertainty, and the continued lack of any considerable demand for many of their products. The cotton question is worrying them all. The supply is certain to be inadequate aud there is a probability of u real scarcity during the coming year. Higher prices all along the line seem inevitable. It will take time to adjust the industry to a basis nearer the 30-cent level and to (silicate buyers to the necessity of high er prices for goods. Meanwhile there will be much uncertainty throughout the market with Jew if any mills, either North or South, running full time, and many operating on short schedule.” You can walk into most any retail bus iness house in Concord or any other city in this "sectMu of the State and find pe<P pie buying goods that are manufactured in the cotton mills of this section. Re tailers in many cities are having the best trade in their history, yet the cotton man ufacturers cannot get orders for goods that are selling well on the markets to day. It is a peculiar situation aud one that is causing some concern. WILLIAM D. HARRY. Cabarrus County lost one of her most valuable citizens iu the death of WiUjuiu D. Harry. Who died Monday of apoplexy at his home. "The Moieheud Place," Mr. Harry was an adopted son of the county, but he gave it the best within him never theless. and set up example of service and loyalty that native sons wquld do well to follow. Possessing a keen intel-, lect, a wids knowledge of farm conditions," an instinctive business mind, and love for fairness and justice. Jlr. Harry prov ed to life-one of the finest citizens of Ca barrus County during bis life here- and he will be mi96©d when support for A CHANCE FOR BETTER SCHOOLS. t The special school tax election which will be held on November 20th is the ' most important school question put before ' the people of the county during the past decade and longer. It is simply the ques tion of whether or not the people of the rural sections of Cabarrus County want their children to have better school ad vantages. And the question has to be answered by the people themsMves. The matter rests with them now, and wheth er or not they vote for the tax will de termine whether the schools arc to be or ganized. This proposition is the first ever offer ed by which rural high schools can be erected in all parts of the county. That is the most important phase of the ques tion and the phase that should be stress ed more than-Tlny other. The plan as outlined by county school authorities em braces the following points: Eight and probably nine high schools . located at points where they can be eas ily reached by the greater number of children. Continuation of the present grammar Schools. Under the new plan there, will be just as many teachers for the gram-, mar schools as there are now, with not ?o many students. "This means the teach ers will be able to give more time to each student. Free transportation to students who live too far from the new schools to walk, j The money for the purchase, upkeep_ anil I operation of tlie trucks is provided in the tax to be voted' op. High School studies for* the pupils of the new schools. In these schools ac credited High Sehool teachers will be em ployes!. Eight months school terms for every j school. This applies to the old as well as the proposed schools. Selection: of sites for schools so that the greater number of students will be in walking distance. This will mean less transportation expense. Redistrict ir.g of school area for the purpose of finding the most central points j for the location of the buildings. Elimination of all local school taxes I now in force. The new tax will make it j possible for all present taxes to be elim-! United. Sicho.ol authorities in this aud other j counties who have made a careful study j of rural school Conditions have congrat- j nlated the county school %>ayd ointbo! plan by which they hope to give the conn- j county or community projects of merit is needed. Mr. Harry was never too busy to think of his church and liN> fel lowman. and his greatest deeds were those wherein lie contributed of his time and money to his Church and ilis talent and eiieygy as a public servant to his fel lowinan. Truly, he had his house by the side of the road and lie proved a friend to man. WOMAN.SO BLUE SHE CRIED Because of 111 Health—Tells How She Found Relief by Taking Lydia L Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Burlington, lowa. —“I used to dread the time for my monthly period as it iiiiiiiimiini~~l came ever y riw 111 weeks and lasted for IWm have the blues^and HHI taken Lydia E.Pink ■K jrj||B ham's \e ge table Hk 113 appi * can i mrt^ m Jgilj pounds and look fine. ■[" have recommended your medicine to my friends and you may publish my letter as a testimonial I hope your medicine will give others the relief it did me. ” —Mrs. Ralph Gail, 2021 Des Moines St., Burlington, la. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com pound is a medicine for ailments com mon to womerj. It has been used for such troubles for nearly fifty years, and thousands of women have found relief as did Mrs. Gail, by taking this splendid medicine. If you are sufteri n g from irregularity, painful times, nervousness, headache, backache or melancholia, you should at once begin to take Lydia E. Pinkham’a Vegetable Compound. It is excellent to strengthen the system and help to per form its functions with ease and regu larity. 1 Hi (•HOT < Skma^ I I dliaaioative fuQCtioos I * I** / Chips off the Old Block /lM\ R JUNIORI- \\ fI'PPtL. utti ®ii Il* 9 riffle One-third the regu- I I I Ur d °°*- M » de °* 11' Wisni ingredient*, ff M ,AA „ i then candy coated.

The . plan callß for a complete system of , schools throughout the coAty at the lease possible expense, it is pointed out, aud without the county going in debt to . ,get the work started.fi In other words if the election carries, and certainly it . should, the money for the schools will be assured even before the work starts, and tW schools will be made possible with out great expense to any one. The present school buildings are not to be done away with because the school board finds that they can still be used for efficient grammar school work. In some counties where-consolidated schools are used both grammar and high school departments are combined in one build ing. That usually* means congestion and more efficient school work can be done when the teacher has fewer pupils. Iu one consolidated school in an adjoining [county, it was brought to the attention of the school board, there are 90 pupils 'in the first grade. No teacher can prop erly train such a large number of pupils. Under the plan proposed by the local ( board the grammar grades, or at least j the first, second, third, fourth aud preb- : ably the fifth* grades, will be taught in ' the present schoolhouses and the higher grades in the new houses. That will mean less congestion. Under the terms of the call for the | election as issued by the commissioners, I a rate not exeeediiig 35 cents on the SIOO can be levied to take care of the proposed school system. Members of the school j board feel that the program can be car ried out with the rate of 25 cents oh the j SIOO. aud it is almost certain that the : j rate will not exceed 30 cents. The board I estimates that nine schoolhouses can be erected and furnished with money raised, by the 30 cent rate, and it is hoped i: can I be accomplished with a 25 cent rate. j Every child in the county will be ben- | ofitted by the proposed system, we feel. | ' j Even the little tots will get an eight ! months school term aud should. they be , i forced to drop,out later and help with the ; I farm work they will have secured a bet- ' i ter education by the longer term while ; i [they will have secured a better education! Iby the luoger term while they were in • ! school. | The faxes will not bankrupt any man . j |in th and we need the new j i .schools. Our children whether they* j 'live iu the city or on the farm, deserve j I the best we can give them. - i' Strikers Outrage Dead. London. Nov. 4.—The bitterness of 1 the hatred in the Cork. Ireland, under- j takers' strike does not even respect the J j dead. | , Saturday afternoon two men and ' women entered the mortuary chapel' of j a local hospital and lifted a dead patient | 1 out of his coffin, where he was awaiting j i burial. They placed the corpse on a - slab nearby and then smashed to pieces the coffin which had been made by a firm involved in the strike. The affair was reported to the Bishop of Cork, aud in all Catholic churches iu the city today the act was denounced iu the strongest terms.
